2019 Buick LaCrosse Avenir

The LaCrosse is Buick's full-size sedan, the one that competes with the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300. It's a calm, quiet cruiser that feels right at home on long highway stretches. The cabin is genuinely roomy, with a leather interior that's easy to wipe down after spills. Owners note the door handles can feel weak and sometimes need replacing. The Avenir adds diamond-stitched leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a premium Bose audio system over the Premium trim. Its 3.6L V6 makes 310 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which is smooth and quiet on the highway, returning 23 mpg combined. The Avenir's standard adaptive suspension softens bumps on rough pavement, so you feel less road noise than in the Sport Touring.
